The Verge’s summer ‘in’ and ‘out’ list

theverge.com Mia Sato 2025-08-15 13:00:00

Here at this website, my colleagues and I follow our beats closely, from wearable tech and laptops to influencer culture and federal policy. Last year, I asked a bunch of staff at The Verge to pretend to be trend forecasters for a lighthearted collection of what’s hot and what’s not. Some of the predictions really held up: many would say the US Supreme Court continues to be out, congestion pricing in New York is decidedly in despite attempts to kill it, and cats are, as ever, a bit of both.

Amazon’s next Prime Day event hasn’t officially kicked off yet, but as usual, the retailer has already dropped a selection of early deals ahead of the four-day shopping event. While steeper discounts are surely to arrive when things kick off on July 8th, many of the current offers are already worth considering, especially if you’re a Prime member looking to score a deal on one of Amazon’s own devices or services. Most of these offers are exclusive to Prime members; however, some retailers are pr

Development of a transputer ISA board

Development of a transputer ISA board I developed software for transputers in the years 1993-1996. A few months ago, I wrote some articles about my experiences, and most recently I developed a transputer emulator in Javascript After my transputer emulator in Javascript was working, I got curious about running my software on a PC computer.

My first take with Eshell many years back did not leave a good impression. My early expectations was that it should act like any other shell, only to be unpleasantly surprised by it.

How the Binding of Two Brain Molecules Creates Memories That Last a Lifetime

wired.com Ajdina Halilovic 2025-08-15 11:00:00

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. When Todd Sacktor was about to turn 3, his 4-year-old sister died of leukemia. “An empty bedroom next to mine. A swing set with two seats instead of one,” he said, recalling the lingering traces of her presence in the house. “There was this missing person—never spoken of—for which I had only one memory.” That memory, faint but enduring, was set in the downstairs den of their home. A young Sacktor asked his sister to read him a book

Summary: Individuals emphasizing freedom and hobbies experienced a boost in well-being, whereas those prioritizing achievement felt less happy. The research showed that valuing ‘hedonism’ and ‘self-direction’ led to increased happiness across India, Turkey, and the UK. In contrast, ‘achievement’ and ‘conformity’ values showed no direct happiness benefits. The findings spotlight the importance of balancing life pursuits for mental health.

macOS Icon History

With macOS 26, Apple has announced a dramatically new look to their UI: Liquid Glass. Solid material icon elements give way to softer, shinier, glassier icons. The rounded rectangle became slightly more rounded, and Apple eliminated the ability for icon elements to extend beyond the icon rectangle (as seen in the current icons for GarageBand, Photo Booth, Dictionary, etc.).

So Long, ‘Anthem,’ See Ya In the Skies

In February 2019, Dragon Age and Mass Effect developer BioWare released Anthem, a third-person shooter about human Freelancers donning armored Javelin suits to fight monsters and various factions. After seven years, EA is permanently taking the live-service game down on January 12, 2026, and with it, a chapter in the studio’s modern era is forever gone.

In a surprise trend of the year, a growing number of communities are using apps like Ring Neighbors and Nextdoor to discuss and track ICE immigration raids. These security apps and associated security cams and video doorbells weren't exactly intended to follow federal agents, but it's proven to be a popular effort in areas like California. While law enforcement retains the ability to request home security videos with a warrant, they aren't used to being on the receiving end of this technology.
